Mr Earl, when you mention taking action against the company, do you mean involving my solicitor and instructing him to issue proceedings against the company for bullying?

Thanks everyone for your thoughts. Some of the last replies hits the nail right on the head - I'm very inclined to take a hardline position over the incident, not for want of advancment or compensation for myself (although I suspect I could have grounds for a claim) but to ensure that such...

Thanks Steven, have already taken notes of absolutely everything. I firmly believe carry on of this type is disgraceful and want to ensure that when the issue is resolved, no co-worker will be placed in a similar position.

Yeah, I can prove the incorrect allocation of error to me. I also have several coleagues that can back me up on this. The manager is question is the one allocating the error. She has no super-user sanctions. While I hesitate to use the term, it seems like a power trip thing and I seem to have...

Hi all, I work within the insurance industry, an analytical role. The company I work for carry out quality checks on our work, to ensure accuracy of data produced. Should errors occur, they are duelly noted and would normally have a financial impact come end of year pay reviews. No issue with...

Thanks for the reply Brendan. Just to clarify, with probate already completed and all solicitors fees paid, you say the interest in the estate can now simply be disclaimed? Any cash that has already been distributed would then also have to be disclaimed would it not? Approx €20k has already...

Hi All, Having had issues regarding a will myself previously, a good friend now finds themselves in a similar position and has asked for advice. A house has been willed to two siblings and after all probate, paperwork etc etc having been done and dusted both parties have fallen out. My friend...

Hi Joan, We too were looking at Stanley & Blacksmith but when we got our plumber around to look at the job he said the Stanley Tara would be the best job. We were concerned that this stove would be too small but he brought us to visit a large two story house near by that had one installed...

Bronte - While I thank you for your contribuation to all this, I'm well aware of my own contribuation to this situation and don't need it pointed out to me. I have no reason to hold onto the house and have no forlorn hopes about property prices. I also have my own "family" home with my wife...

Beffers - We were both executors of the will however I carried out all work involved. Yes, he has adequate salary and is saving €600 pm now that he's no longer paying renting.

Confidence not an issue Bronte, won't need my wife with me for that! And to clarify, I'm the older brother in this situation. Having agreed with him to give him 12 months before he buys me out, can a solicitor force him to either buy me out or sell the property after 12 months? (I did advise my...

Thanks all for the replies. Bronte - Thanks for the reply. The property was the family home, felt obliged to give my brother first preferance to buying me out when he expressed an interest. I also realise this won't end nicely but I'm not going to be a footpath for him to walk all over...

Hi All, Firstly want to say what a great site this is. I’ve had some great advice from people here both recently and in the past. I’m hoping someone may be able to offer some advice on something that’s become a real worry lately – I’ll try to keep the story short. A house was willed to me...

Thanks Huskerdu, It's a big enough company yeah and I would go to HR but they are a bit lax too, tending always to side with department managers. With regard to the sick note plan - I have no problem lying to the boss in this instance nor do I have a problem with her knowing it! Would me...

Thanks Jazz. Have been doing all you suggest, as well as getting a cover plan in place. Others within my workplace have done similar though but have still found hassle when holidays arrive.

Hi All, My wife and I are expecting our first child later this year and while I am aware that there is no paternity leave in ROI I have informed my boss of my intention to take 2 weeks holidays when the baby is born. Obviously I couldn't give the exact dates I'll be taking as holidays but...

Yep, laptop sound working fine on everything else including music cd. Just no sound from any clips on YouTube.

No, I checked this already, nothing is muted and volume is up to the last. Thanks for the reply though.

Hi All, Hope someone may have come across this problem before. I'm unable to hear sound on any YouTube clips on my laptop. I can hear any other music I have on the laptop fine and all other normal system sounds can be heard fine. The issue is only with YouTube. I have the latest Flash update...

Thanks MF - this is what I'm thinking... Would need a legal document to be fairly bulletproof as I know an individuals circumstances can change over the course of paying a mortgage. What would happen if they can't make payments? What happens if they want to extend the terms of the repayments...
